Grenfell fire chief calls for sprinklers in tower blocks

Grenfell
London's fire commissioner says the Grenfell Tower blaze must be a "turning point", calling for sprinklers in all high-rise council flats.
At least 80 people died when fire engulfed the west London block in June.
A BBC Breakfast investigation which focused on half the UK's council and housing association-owned tower blocks found just 2% have full sprinkler systems.
Of those, 68% have just one staircase through which to evacuate.
A public inquiry will look at the causes of the fire, the adequacy of high-rise regulations, Grenfell Tower's refurbishment, and the actions of public authorities before and after the blaze.
The inquiry will hold its first hearing on Thursday, with an initial report due by Easter.
The Department for Communities and Local Government says it will consider whether to retrofit sprinklers based on the inquiry's recommendations.
